Officially dragged it out of its winter hibernation after being robbed by the government for a beer mat size piece of paper. Any it's all legal now for the next 3 months.

It was out two weeks ago for our National Car Test which is like the UK MOT test. It passed and was put back into hiding.

So today I gave it a good bath, cleaned roof, polished glass and have been driving around our 5km limit.

I do love this car and it still turns heads at 18 years old.

It's such a contrast to the other one that went into its hibernation for a few months. I'd love to have both available but it would cost €340 per month on tax to have them both road legal at the same time and that's just ridiculous.

So roll on summer and the end of travel restrictions. I'm in Ireland in case anyone is wondering about the local idiocy laws.

Great looking Boxster Traco, but how the hell did you get it in and out of that container?

Got my Boxster alittle over a week ago and this is my first Porsche, right away needed 4 new tires but mechanically is in great shape, polished and ceramic coated the paint, installed a double din Sony head unit with a back up camera. Put on 15mm wheel spacers all around. Had leftover tint from another car so I tinted the taillights(not sure how I feel just yet but I do plan on doing the led 718 style) I also installed the fister muffler with the stock cats since I can’t find the bypass pipes, and painted the calipers
